Long Beach Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm

Long Beach Spinal Cord Injury Law Firm

What are Spinal Cord Injuries?

As a Long Beach spinal cord injury law firm, we see these types of injuries frequently. The spinal cord has nerve tissue that protects it from injury by the bones in the spine. These nerves are responsible for delivering messages from the brain to the rest of the body. When someone suffers from a spinal cord injury due to a traumatic event, these nerves in the spinal cord become damaged. Once damaged, this interferes with the brain’s ability to communicate with the rest of the body.

Unfortunately, our Long Beach spinal cord injury law firm knows that once a client experiences a spinal cord injury, they’ll more than likely suffer a permanent disability or paralysis. Damage to the spinal cord can result in the loss of movement in all four of an individual’s extremities, known as Quadriplegia. Depending on the amount and location of damage to the spine, clients may experience Paraplegia. Paraplegia is the loss of movement in the bodies lower extremities.

Types Of Accidents in Which Some Spinal Cord Injuries Occur

Our Long Beach spinal cord injury law firm sees spinal cord injuries occur in a variety of situations. Some of the most common occurrences that may result in a spinal cord injury include:

Slip and fall accidents

Work related injuries

Product manufacturing error that directly results in user injury

Car accidents

Heavy Truck Disasters

Medical Malpractice

There are several other instances that can result in a spinal cord injury causing a significant decrease in a clients quality of life. Regardless of how it occurs, clients deserve to receive compensation for their injuries. Our Long Beach spinal cord injury law firm can get you the compensation you deserve.

How Someone Else’s Liable For Spinal Injuries

As a Long Beach spinal cord injury law firm, it’s our job to prove who is liable for a client’s spinal cord injury. A defendant may be held accountable for an injury when it is proven that their negligence is a result of the injury. For example, a client is undergoing routine surgery for a slipped or bulging disc with a surgeon. During the procedure, the surgeon fails to pay attention and accidentally cuts the spinal cord. This negligence would make the surgeon liable for the damages that patient received.

If a client was proceeding through a green light when another vehicle hits them and causes a spinal cord injury. Say that driver was texting or ran a red light. This would make the other driver liable for the damages. In any accident that results in injury, the person responsible for the accident due to negligence on their part is held liable. This applies if a manufacturer knows an airbag is faulty and does nothing to correct the issue. Later the airbag causes someone significant injuries, leaving the manufacturer responsible for the damages.
